Many Happy Returns

Today marks the 74th anniversary of the publication of the Hobbit by George Allen & Unwin. It was on 21 September, 1937 that the first copies of this now-famous fantasy tale rolled off the presses and into the shops.

My family is totally addicted to audio books. So when I went back to work one of the first purchases I made with "My" money was lord of the rings on cd - I think it cost me around $150 by far the most I've ever spent on an audio book but sooooo worth it - it's about 45 cd's long. But it's awesome. We also have the Hobbit which gets played a lot in my house.
